Finished x 2
Having gone through my WIPs, I identified several from my list that just needed a few hours concentrated work to finish them off and therefore should easily be finishable in a weekend.*
Some of them just need final finishing touches needed, others a little more work but they are all so nearly finished it seems a shame to leave them lying around with their destiny unfulfilled. So as I seem to have finished hardly anything this year, just get projects to nearly finished and then abandon them for some shiny new knitting, I decided to pick one each weekend and finish it off. Starting with the weekend we've just had.
This project was a stashbuster - two whole balls used - and by whole balls I mean the last bit of sewing up was done with as closely matching yarn as I could find in my stash because I'd used every last bit of it!
It was also a (late because I didn't see her on her birthday and hence delayed finishing it) gift
I obviously got carried away with this finishing lark because last night I sewed in the last ends on this:
Please excuse the poor self-photography and the mess in the room behind me!
I really enjoyed knitting this jumper - it doesn't hurt that it knits up really quickly and I'm planning to knit another but with some slight differences - I'm going to have the ordinary stocking stitch, rather than reverse stocking stitch on the outside and I shall make the neckline slightly smaller. It will also be more purple as more purple knitting can only be a good thing - yes?
